The Scientific Miracles in The Holy Quran
(Examples)

• Al-Nasiyah (front of the head and the brain) in
  The Holy Quran and medicine (Prefrontal lobe).
• Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) functions and ablution
  (Wudu).
• Breast feeding in The Holy Quran.
• Embryology in The Holy Quran.
• Iron (Fe) in The Holy Quran and medicine.
• Water (H2O) in The Holy Quran, science and
  medicine.
• Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) e.g. AIDS in
  Islamic teaching and medicine.

INTRODUCTION

• Message of Holy Quran.
• Number of medical and cosmic verses (ayaat) in
  the Holy Quran (ayaat with scientific reference).
• The Holy Quran and science.
• The Quranic system in the mankind and universe.
• Two books (The Holy Quran and the universe).
• The rationale for recurrence of ayaat of
  scientific reference in The Holy Quran.

6

• The Quran is a book of faith (Iman) and guidance
  (Hidaayah). It also includes educational
  dimensions for the establishment of a virtuous
  society. Allah (SWT) says

" ???????????? ???????? ?????????? ??????????
???????? ?????? ??????? ?????????? ?????????
???????????????"
????? 89
"And we have sent down to thee the book
explaining all things, a guide, a mercy and glad
tidings to muslims(An Nahl89).
7

• There are many verses (ayaat) in Al Quran al
  Kareem which deal with different branches of
  science ( medical and cosmic).

• We have reviewed and classified these verses
  according to their scientific topics and also
  studied the rationale behind their recurrence in
  the Quran.

8

• The results were as follows

First There are approximately 1200 ayaat which
refer to the different sciences, which
constitutes nearly 20 of the total number of
ayaat (6236) in Al Quran al Kareem.
9
Second There are approximately 70 ayaat praising
Science and Scientists, encouraging them to be
involved in discovering the universe for the good
of humanity. As a matter of fact the first five
ayaat revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH )
ordered him to read and learn.

according to their scientific topics as follows

Biology 130 Transportation 28
Astronomy Cosmology 105 Origin of Man others 27
Geography 98 Engineering 12

15
TWO BOOKS !!(Quran and Universe)

• 1st. The written and readable book !!
• (The Quran words of Allah -SWT)
• 2nd. The visible book !!
• (The universe created by Allah -SWT)!

16
Recurrence of the following words in Holy Quran

• Day 365 times .
• Month 12 times .
• Moon 27 times .
• Sun 33 times .
• Sun and Moon in same Ayaah 19 times.

17
Al-Nasiyah (front of the head the brain)
18

• The holy Quran describes the front of the head
  in the disbelievers being lying and sinful !!

(????? ????? ?????) (???? ????? 16)
Allah (SWT) says (a lying sinful nasiyah (front
of the head). (96 16)
19

• Since the front of the head does not speak, how
  can it be described as being lying? It does not
  commit sins. How is it then said to be sinful?

20
The linguistic meaning of the Ayah
(??? ??? ?? ???? ?????? ????????. ????? ?????
?????)
????? 15 - 16
Allah (SWT) says (Let him beware! If he does not
stop, We will take him by the nasiyah, a lying,
sinful nasiyah!) (9615-16)Al-Nasiyah the
front of the head.
21

• Most commentators have interpreted this Verse
  metaphorically, saying that describing the
  nasiyah being lying and sinful is not to be taken
  literally the description is attributed to the
  owner of the nasiyah and not to the nasiyah
  itself.

22

• Other commentators did not comment on the Verse
  sparing themselves the involvement in something
  beyond their knowledge and the knowledge of their
  age.

23
Functions of prefrontal area in the brain

• The function of this part of the brain that lies
  in the font of the human head (the prefrontal
  cortex ) is to control the human behavior.

24

• The prefrontal cortex constitutes the bulk of the
  frontal lobe of the brain, and its function is
  involved in the making of ones personality. It
  is also considered as a superior center among the
  centers of concentration, thinking and memory. It
  plays a significant role in the persons emotion
  and it is somehow concerned with initiative and
  discrimination.

25

• Prof. Dr. Keith Moore, who stated that the front
  of the head is responsible for judging and for
  directing human behavior. The working organs of
  the body (e.g. the limbs or tongue) are but tools
  to carry out the decision made in the front of
  the head

26

• He, confirming what he had said, added When a
  person intends to tell a lie, the decision is
  made in the frontal lobe of the brain, which is
  the front of the head. If he wants to commit a
  sin, the decision is made there, too

Conclusion

• Prof. Keith Moore, illustrating this Scientific
  Miracle, says The information we now know about
  the function of the brain, was not mentioned
  throughout history, nor do we find anything about
  it in the medical books. Should we survey all the
  medical literature during the time of the Prophet
  (Peace be upon him) and several centuries
  thereafter, we would find no mention of the
  function of the frontal lobe (nasiyah), or an
  explanation of it or a statement about it except
  in this Book (the Holy Quran), which indicates
  that such information is of the Knowledge of
  Allah, the Almighty, Who knows everything, and
  that Muhammad is Allahs Messenger

The rationale for recurrence of ayaat of
scientific reference in The Holy Quran(Allah SWT
knows best)
38

• A- To support the six principles of Faith (Iman),
  especially the Iman in Allah Almighty and in the
  hereafter.
• B- To stimulate thinking and scientific research
  in order to discover the universe.
• C- To express the power of Allah Almighty and
  his unique creations.
• D- To show the mercy and the numerous favours of
  Allah Almighty to mankind.
• E- To give evidence that the Quran is the word
  of Allah Almighty revealed to His Prophet
  Muhammad (PBU). The scientific miracle of Holy
  Quran.

We have deduced from our study and Allah knows
best, that the rationale for the recurrence of
those ayaat are to achieve the following aims
43
A- To support the six principles of Faith (Iman),
especially the Iman in Allah Almighty and in the
hereafter, for example Surah An-Nisa ayat no.
136. It was found that there is a strong
correlation (about 92) between such ayaat and
these principles of Iman as follows

• O you who believe! Believe in Allâh, and His
  Messenger, and the Book which He has sent down to
  His Messenger, and the Scripture which He sent
  down to those before, and whosoever disbelieves
  in Allâh, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers,
  and the Last Day, then indeed he has strayed far
  away.

An-Nisa, 136

Principles of Faith No.
Iman in Allah Almighty 738
Iman in Angels 24
Iman in Holy Books 53
Iman in Messengers 100
Iman in the Hereafter 120
Iman in Destiny 30

• B- The unprecedented nature of scientific
  content to stimulate reflection and research in
  order to discover more about the universe.
